Chapter Twenty-Eight: Preparing to Fight Back
The next morning of the battle ended with the loss of Nanzhuang Village.
In order to celebrate her daughter's safe return, the mother herself got up early in the morning to prepare the meal.
Liu Sheng, Liu Huangqiang, and his daughter were still asleep, and the snoring sound was louder and louder. Because they were so happy, the family talked until late last night and fell asleep, so my mother didn't call them when she got up, wanting them to sleep more.
Today, my mother specially made fried oil cakes, and rural people like to fry something to eat every New Year's festival or happy event.
Making a stove, washing vegetables, cleaning up fish, kneading dough, a series of tedious tasks, my mother carried out in an orderly manner.
It wasn't until about half past nine that my mother put the fish in the pot, and the smell of the fried fish wafted into the bedroom through the hut. Liu Sheng and Liu Huangqiang were awakened by the fragrance. The two got up and dressed, the father walked out of the house and said that he would go outside first, and Liu Huangqiang helped his mother to fry the fritters after washing his face and brushing his teeth. After ten o'clock, the mother and son fried two large pots of oil cakes.
The meal was ready, and his mother asked Liu Huangqiang to call his sister to get up and eat, and he went to send some oil cakes to his neighbor Aunt Li. On the one hand, the neighbors helped each other, and on the other hand, the mother was afraid that Aunt Li would not be able to think about it alone and do something foolish.
After Liu Huangqiang handed a pot of oil cakes to his mother, he ran to the bedroom, where his sister was still asleep, and her saliva was flowing down her head.
"Sister, get up, get up and eat" Liu Huangqiang patted Liu Xiaohui's face.
The girl opened her somewhat swollen eyes and sat up.
"It's so cold, Mom and Dad," the girl asked.
"Dad went out shopping, Mom went to bring some food to Aunt Li, come back soon, you get up and wash your face"
Liu Huangqiang habitually turned on the TV, but all that was playing on the TV was a black and white snowflake. Turn off the TV, Liu Huangqiang lay on the kang, looking up at the ceiling in a daze.
"Xiaoqiang, do you have any plans in the future?" the girl asked Liu Huangqiang while wiping her wet hair.
"I don't know, let's take one step at a time," Empress Liu replied absentmindedly.
The girl didn't ask anything more, and went out of the bedroom with the shampoo to pour it.
There was a knock at the door, and my father and mother hurried in together, and said something to each other. Liu Huangqiang heard the voice and quickly got up and walked out of the house.
"Mom, why did you bring the oil cake back again, what happened, didn't you go to Aunt Li's house?" Liu Huangqiang looked at his mother and rarely showed a panicked expression and asked.
"Where's your sister?" Mother asked.
Liu Huangqiang replied urgently before he came, and Liu Xiaohui came out of the toilet.
"What's wrong, Mom," the girl asked.
"Your Aunt Li hanged herself." Father said.
"Huh? Why? Hasn't Uncle Wang been found yet, why did he commit suicide? When? After all, he is a neighbor who has known him since he was a child, and the sudden bad news made Liu Huangqiang inevitably a little difficult to accept.
"It should be last night, she left a note." The mother took out a folded piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Liu Huangqiang. Then walked into the kitchen with tears, and Liu Sheng also followed up in the kitchen to comfort his wife and discuss what to do.
Liu Huangqiang opened the note, and Liu Xiaohui also poked his wet head to look at it, and there were only a few words on the note.
"The person has been found, the zombie king is Wang Jianguo! At this point, I have no worries, and I hope that the good Samaritan will bury our old couple together, and all the property of the family will be used as a thank you. ”
"Could we be so coincidental?" Liu Huangqiang also walked into the kitchen after reading the note.
"Alas~ Let's eat first, I'll go to the village committee to see in a while, the body of the zombie king I heard that the officer chief is still doing research, I'll discuss it with everyone in a while, after all, it's all from the same village, and it should be no problem to get back the corpse of the zombie king." Liu Sheng took the note and said.
"My hard-working sister-in-law Li, we worked together in the field a few days ago, this person said no," my mother said sadly with tears in her eyes.
"Alas, you calculate that there are still few people who have died in the past few days, don't be sad, people still have to look forward, this damn apocalypse, the living don't know how long they can live" Liu Sheng grabbed the oil cake and ate it.
The mother was in a bad mood and did not speak again, got up and walked out of the kitchen and into the bedroom.
Liu Xiaohui looked at his mother and then at his father, inexplicably, 'Alas! He sighed and went into the bedroom with his mother.
"Dad, I'll go in a while" Liu Huangqiang grabbed the oil cake and took a bite hard.
…………
At this time, countless people in the village committee were busy, some were washing dishes, some were sweeping the floor, and some were carrying buckets to pour dirty water. More soldiers in camouflage uniforms are doing training. It seems that everyone has just finished eating.
In the conference room, a few tables were set up again, and only a topographical map of the entire city was placed on the table. There were a dozen people around the table. Kong Guomin and the second squad leader who have been following him, as well as the two college students before, are also here. The rest are the previously elected cadres of the village.
The second squad leader held a stick in his hand and pointed to the map explaining something to the people around him.
Everyone nodded in agreement from time to time.
At this time, Liu Huangqiang and his father Liu Sheng walked into the conference room, looked at the dozens of people around and asked, "What are you discussing?" ”
Kong Guomin seemed to be Liu Sheng, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old Liu, you came just in time, we are discussing how to recover the entire Zhang City and completely eliminate hidden dangers." ”
"Take back the entire Zhang City? This is too big, we just finished a battle, and we survived by luck, and now it's a bit too risky to organize such a big battle, and besides, our firepower is not enough? ”
"We have analyzed all of this, now is the time when the zombies are leaderless, our existing villager combat strength plus the hundreds of survivors brought by my soldiers, as well as the recent refugees who have been taken in by the village, add up to more than 4,000 people, and there is a great chance of victory against those simple-minded zombies. But we don't have much time, and once we evolve a new Zombie King, it's hard to have such a good opportunity again. ”
"As for weapons, there is not much ammunition, and it is impossible for thousands of people to use big knives to kill those mutant zombies." Liu Sheng thought for a moment and asked again.
"In terms of weapons, you don't have to worry, there are three military bases in Zhang City, and the weapons in reserve are enough to wipe out Zhang City five times. Now we have enough manpower, and the soldiers trained outside are not only not able to fly planes, but they are all weapons experts, and this time we can also drive the tanks back. After speaking, he patted Liu Sheng's shoulder.
Liu Huangqiang squeezed to the table and looked at the topographic map, which was marked with circles, triangles and forks. The second squad leader briefly told Liu Huangqiang about the plan.
"Dad, let's do it, in order not to have something like Aunt Li in the future." Liu Huangqiang suddenly slapped the table and said.
Liu Sheng looked at Liu Huangqiang and said, "Since everyone agrees, then I don't have any opinions, but I have some suggestions." ”
"What advice, you say." Kong Guomin was very happy to see that Liu Sheng also agreed.
Liu Sheng stepped forward, picked up a black oil paint, drew a few crosses on several bridges on the river that divided the city in half in the middle of the map, and said, "We can't drag on the battle for too long." Although we have the combat strength of 4,000 people, we really can't hold the entire Zhangshi, too much greed will only make us sacrifice in vain, and half of the Zhangshi's material is enough for ten times our number to survive the cold winter. Wait until we have completely controlled the first half of the city, and then we will take the other half. ”
Everyone looked at each other and agreed that what Liu Sheng said was reasonable. Then everyone told Kong Guomin that they agreed with Liu Sheng's method.
"Since everyone agrees, then I will also follow everyone's opinions," Kong Guomin smiled at everyone and nodded.
"Then let's make a specific implementation plan," Liu Sheng said as he looked at Kong Guomin.
Kong Guomin nodded to the second squad leader beside him. The second squad leader took out a small stick and began to point on the map again, "I plan to divide the team into six roads, and according to the five major roads planned by the city, they will counterattack towards the river at the same time......"
The counterattack strategy meeting lasted a full hour before it ended. All kinds of details were arranged by the second squad leader very specifically.
After the meeting dispersed, Liu Sheng pulled Kong Guomin to ask about the zombie king. Kong Guomin told Liu Sheng about the impact of the zombie king's corpse on ordinary zombies. Then tell Liu Sheng that now there is only one zombie king's head hanging on the high wall outside.
Liu Sheng showed Aunt Li's note to Kong Guomin. Then asked if he could give him the last zombie head to help Aunt Li fulfill her last wish.
Kong Guomin handed the note to Liu Sheng, and then said with a smile that there was no need to discuss this matter with him, this village originally belonged to Liu Sheng and their own. It's a matter for the village, and they just decide for themselves. With that, he walked outside the house.
Then he suddenly stood up to Liu Sheng and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that when I had dinner this morning, everyone unanimously recommended you to be the village chief." ”
